Higher share of large fruit and better marketable quality of cherries

Green On® Start and Green On® Aktiv are designed to support the growth, development and quality of fruit trees. They supply plants with important micronutrients in a highly available form, support photosynthesis and biomass formation, and increase resistance to stress conditions during the growing season.

When applied at the right time, they contribute to better fruit size, uniformity and overall marketable quality.

Proven in a cherry trial

The effectiveness of the combination of Green On® Start and Green On® Aktiv was verified on the variety Regina in Germany.

Trial conditions

• Variety: Regina
• Location: Germany
• Application:
  • Green On® Start – 0.75 kg/ha after flowering
  • Green On® Aktiv – 0.75 kg/ha at the beginning of fruit colouring

Results

The use of Green On® significantly influenced the size of harvested cherries. Compared to the untreated control, the share of small fruit decreased and, at the same time, the share of fruit in higher size classes increased significantly.

Change in size category distribution

The results confirm that the application of Green On® significantly supports the formation of larger fruit. This increases the share of cherries classified in the most sought-after commercial classes, which has a direct positive impact on the economics of cultivation.
